A journey of farmer’s
son, from small sleepy town to mega city Mumbai, to being a ‘Son to a Million Parents’, a journey of a
social enterprise started by Sailesh Mishra on April 2008 to multifaceted
Silver Innings Group in 2015, working with Senior Citizens and their family.

Today on 17th
Aug 2015 we complete our two year long journey of our A1 SNEHANJALI , it was such a wonderful year
with so much learning, happiness, networking, happening, so many new friends,
colleagues, celebrations, prayers….. Memorable years to cherish…. some left us,
some joined us….. a journey worth continuing in the company of our elders….

Iam feeling sentimental,
never ever thought we could do this, an acknowledgement from globe and ageing
domain never looked so easy, though journey to Silver Innings was tough….with
many ups and downs….. A1 Snehanjali started with a thought of not only making
nursing home or old age home, A journey from rubble to home with a heart….from
an idea to reality, from a black and white document to infrastructure, from
preaching to practice. Financial help from a ‘good friend’ made a dream come
true…… And a hunger ‘to do more’, a shoutout, ‘Give Me More’…

With success of A1
Snehanjali and alongside new learning, we are in the process of launching our
new facility ‘A SILVER AMORE’ very soon in coming months, introducing nursing
supervision and medication management with holistic care.

With a mission for
working towards creating Elder Friendly World where Ageing becomes a Positive
and Rewarding Experience, Silver Innings on 17th Aug 2013 ventured
into a completely new horizon of providing 24 x 7 assisted living elder care
home for elder residents who don’t need constant medical intervention or
nursing home care, with launching of its first facility A1 Snehanjali in a
small town of Nalasopara in the western suburb of Mumbai. A1 Snehanjali started
its elder care facility with a goal of
“Transforming lives to mitigate loneliness, helplessness, and boredom”.

At A1 Snehanjali our
mission is to help elders and their family members to overcome the challenges
of ageing and show them the way to transform lives to reduce loneliness and helplessness and live with dignity in their silver years.
We are the pioneers in India to introduce ‘Rights of Residents’ in Elder Home.

Our nurturing and
trained professional staff is dedicated to provide all residents with highest
level of quality and expert services. Families subscribing to our service are assured
peace of mind; knowing that their loved one is enjoying his/her best days of
“Silver Years” at A1 Snehanjali. A therapeutic and secure environment is provided
to the residents along with non-pharmacological interventions, with core being
Holistic care.

A1 Snehanjali has
created package of integrated amenities that is designed to provide seniors
with most of the services required to lead a normal home-like life. It offers
both personalized and group programs and services that focus on stimulating
mind, body and soul. We offer a
convenient month-to-month room rental that includes the following - Comfortable room including basic utilities ;

On behalf of my entire team
of Silver Innings Group and A1 Snehanjali, I take this opportunity to Thank all
my Residents, their Family Members, Staff, Colleagues, Caregivers, Supporters,
Partners, Well wishers, Donors, Doctors, Institutions, Critics, Trustees,
Friends and Family for all your support and for being part of our amazing journey
of elder care. We will create many such milestones. We are still learning, We
had gains and we had losses too, We failed and got success too.... Iam sorry if
in this journey we knowingly or unknowingly hurt anyone……. Forgive us, as we
are children who are passionate and committed to work for social cause of our
elders.

Let us also pray for
departed soul who left us with blessings and also pray for well being of all
our residents, staff, colleagues and their families. God bless our home with
happiness and peace.
